Overview
Africa’s engagement with China has evolved from traditional aid and infrastructure finance to a broad-based partnership encompassing trade, investment, innovation, green development, and institutional cooperation. In a rapidly changing global landscape—marked by shifting geopolitical alliances, climate imperatives, and digital transformations—the future of Africa–China relations must be grounded in shared prosperity, deeper understanding, and resilient cooperation frameworks.
This high-level public forum and book launch will bring together policymakers, scholars, business leaders, and development practitioners to explore the future of Africa–China linkages as captured in the landmark publication: “Africa–China Linkages: Building Deeper and Broader Connections,” edited by Prof. Alfred Schipke and co-authored by leading experts across Africa and Asia.
